With the eruption of the global pandemic, countries around the world have seen economic, social and health system vulnerabilities exposed. Challenges in ramping up manufacturing capabilities and supply for ventilators and essential protective equipment have been striking. Governments are now rediscovering how resilience and readiness of industrial ecosystems are critical and shall guide a post-COVID industrial policy response. What makes an industrial ecosystem resilient? What have we learnt about public-private collaborations in rapid technology scaling-up? Can we expect a different geography of value chains in the post-COVID world? Can developing countries use the health sector and its technologies as drivers of inclusive and resilient structural transformation? This webinar explores these issues with a focus on national and international experiences.
